Creature Dog Monster Thing....

Randomly started digitally painting this creature / dog character design out of the blue today for fun. Took about an hour of noodling in Photoshop. Inspired by my doggie!!!

Justin Bieber Caricature Portrait Drawing

My first go at a Justin Bieber Caricature Drawing.. this portrait is for the young ladies out there :P. PrismaColor on Paper, about 5 inches high.

Another Work Buddy Caricature

Here is the second caricature for a work pal! It's digitally painted in Photoshop with a chalky look... the same look as the Team Fortress 2 inspired "Neil Rio" painting. Took a couple hours. I pushed her character design a little to express her personality. Say hi to Mary!

Hamster Sketches

Here is a page of quick life sketches I did of our fat hamster Tink!

Work Buddy Caricature

Here's a quick digital painting I did of a friend from work.... I was trying to illustrate to him how I want his hair to look.... then i just kept painting :) AN hour later I had this. FUN! (the style was inspired by Team Fortress 2, the paintings for that game are awesome!)

Arctic Fox Character Design Sketches

Here is a page of arctic fox exploration sketches I did for a possible character in a personal project. Just having fun and going with the flow of my brain to see what I can see :)

Melting Snow

Another quick digital piece painted in photoshop of the view out of my studio window.... trying to catch the specific light and color of that day with a simple design.

Winter Red Sunset

A quick digital painting in photoshop from life of a realllly red sunset one night from this winter.

In the car!

A quick sketch painted digitally on the Nintendo DS using Colors in a car on a trip in the dark in some fog... :P

Eagle Character - Inspired by Alvin and the Chipmunks....

I was watching Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, and I loved the look of the eagle in the part where Theodore is in the Zoo.... so I drew a quick version from my head inspired by it.

Time of Day / Mood Variations with Colors!

Here are some more digital concept paintings I did with Colors! on my Nintendo DS. I'd use the same simple composition to mess around painting moods and time of day over the last month... usually in bed at night :)

From Observation to Imagination...

I started this landscape painting from life by observing the amazing sunset outside. One hour later I had strayed from plein air painting to painting from my imagination, and this little piece came out of it. It's so magical to get lost in your art...
